Negafa (also spelled Neggafa) or ziana (Tamazight: nggafa ⵏⴳⴰⴼⴰ; Arabic: نڭافة) is the traditional dresser of the bride and guardian of the traditions of Moroccan wedding ceremonies. The negafa is an ancient profession reserved for women. This centuries-old trade consisted of preparing the bride, furnishing the nuptial chamber, and, above all, ensuring that all rites were scrupulously respected. The profession continues to thrive in contemporary Morocco and within the Moroccan diaspora weddings.
